Mita's is a tapas-style restaurant in Over-the-Rhine that serves a variety of small plates designed to be shared. It is usually not overly crowded, and during off-peak hours there is often little to no wait. The staff are exceptionally polite and take the time to answer questions and offer recommendations about the menu. I would recommend ordering two to three dishes per person, depending on your appetite. During my visit, I tried the Empanadas de Res con Pique, Tostones y Guacamole, Pulpo, and Ceviche del Día. The empanadas did not offer particularly unique flavors, but they were some of the crispiest I have ever had. The tostones, which are crispy fried plantains served with guacamole, were perfectly seasoned and highly enjoyable. The pulpo was the heartiest dish of the four, featuring tender octopus and potatoes in a rich, creamy, and aromatic sauce. The ceviche was an excellent starter, with a bright and tart combination of fresh fish, pineapple, and jicama. The food arrived quickly, and the prices were very reasonable given the quality of the dishes. Overall, Mita's is an outstanding restaurant and a must-try for anyone dining in Cincinnati.
We went for a last minute date night last night. No reservations were available, so we showed up at 4 and sat at the bar. We loved it. The bartender, Heather, was awesome! She was friendly, helpful, knew what items had dairy or not (dairy allergy here). She also was great at recommending food and cocktails we would want. The cocktails were over the top delicious. The rest of the tapas indeed reminded us of being in Spain. All the food was incredible. I think we found our new favorite restaurant in Cincy!

Definitely a must try. We loved the plantain chips with guacamole, the lamb tacos and empanadas. The jerk chicken was not our favorite. But they have the best Tres Leches Cake. Don’t be fooled by its modest appearance, it was my most favorite dish there.
It was hands-down one of the best dining (on the fine diningish end) experiences in the Midwest. This is one of the places which actually serves what they promise. The server/s were nice, explained us what tapas were right away, made suggestions when we had questions, overall fabulous service. Food was even amazing and shareable tapas had perfect portion size for 2. The food was so flavourful and well done. Would definitely visit again and recommend. ☺️
Overall, I had a good experience at Mita's and would definitely come back, but there were a couple of things that kept it from being a real 5-star visit. The food was well prepared, and the atmosphere was great, but I was a little disappointed with the paella. I've had authentic paella before, and this one just didn't compare. It wasn't bad by any means, and I love the seafood proportion, but it lacked the depth of flavor and overall experience I was expecting. They also happened to be out of Coke during my visit, which wasn't a huge deal, but it was a little surprising. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a tapas restaurant, so the portions are on the smaller side. If it's your first time, don't expect to get full from ordering just one dish. It's definitely meant for sharing and trying a variety of plates. Despite those minor issues, I still enjoyed my visit and think it's worth checking out, especially if you're looking to try Tapas format Spanish restaurant.
